when did 'entertainment industry' become the 'content industry'? they are failing to be entertaining (in spirit and in business), so they change their name and buy legislation mandating the protection of their content? it is a shame that they seem to think that only they can provide content. when did this industry become the sole purveyors of content? and why do they deserve a law granting them this monopoly? the computer, and to a greater extent the internet, have opened up limitless possibilites for content creation and distribution by ANYONE. this is the amazing force of our time, which seems a bit analoguous to luther and his printing press...no wonder the 'content industry's knees are chattering. look what luther brought down. this must not pass! WRITE YOUR SENATORS! both of them.
